Better Sex question
Adam Nedeff:
Let's say a team is down to its last two members in the main game and after hearing an opponent's answer, one teammate agrees, the other disagrees. What do they do? Oddly, I have several episodes on tape and this situation doesn't come up in any of them.

Oh, so you have \"The Better Sex\" the game show on tape! (Definitely something a lot different than \"The Better Sex\" videos I've seen advertised in the USA Today newspaper!)
Anyway, to answer your question, the rule they had on the show when a team receiving a question was down to its last two players was as follows:
1. The player standing furthest from the central podium would give his/her \"Agree/Disagree\" answer to the answer coming from the opponent at the podium.
2. The player standing nearest the podium would give his/her \"Agree/Disagree\" answer.
3. If the two answers agreed, the two players stood or fell together. However, if the vote was \"split\" (one \"Agree\" and one \"Disagree\"), the first player's \"final\" answer determined the vote for both of the team's remaining players. (In other words, his/her original vote served as the tie-breaker unless he/she decided to change it -- perhaps in response to comments made by the player's remaining teammate as he/she voted.)

(Now I think this might be a good show to bring back, but it probably won't ever be -- because of the probably that it would show up as simply \"Better Sex\" in TV-grid listings and create howls of protest from those who want TV programming that's suitable for the whole family to view!)

So just retitle it The Better Gender, as someone at GSC8 suggested. :-)

That was the only show I recall TV Guide actually listed with the article \"The.\" Others, such as Hollywood Squares, Big Showdown, Money Maze, etc had their \"The\" dropped in TVG. But not \"The Better Sex.\" If they ever had a revival, I'd go with Icey and Vince Gill as hosts.
